Just fit a voodoo card in there as well as a YMF7x4 and you'll have very decent windows 9x/late dos gaming experience I guess

Since I've got a few spare voodoo 2 and that my socket 1155 motherboard has two free PCI slots, I may try this one day ^^

Trying to identify old hardware ? Visit The retro web - Project's thread The Retro Web project - a stason.org/TH99 alternative

Cool... This is good to know as well. Need to see that video, and find out if it is theoretically possible to install
something like a glide wrapper on the host operating system, and install V5 drivers in the virtualised OS.

Won't a V2 get unstable on such a beefy hardware? I know V1 will get unstable at higher frequency.

Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
